Fairy Tail: I Don't Want to Be the Guild Master

Macao didn't come back, probably because his date wasn't over yet, and he didn't seem to care if the others found out.

In truth, most people in the guild only talked about this sort of thing for fun. Otherwise, Loke would've dominated the gossip scene in Fairy Tail for years.

That said, there were still a few who paid close attention to these matters, like Wakaba.

"Macao, huh... So he's not just all talk. He actually went and did it!" Wakaba muttered with a mix of envy and concern, particularly for Romeo's situation.

If Macao was seriously considering settling down, could Romeo accept a new stepmother? The kid was only six years old, after all.

Most of Macao's close friends were concerned on Romeo's behalf.

Natsu, however, had a different take. He didn't think it mattered much, Macao's love for Romeo wasn't going to change.

If he had time to spare, Natsu figured he might as well focus on something more entertaining, like Rhodes and his relationship with Mira, especially now that Mira had fully recovered.

"Rhodes."

"Happy? Are you looking for Warm? He's in the kitchen."

"Nope. Natsu told me to ask you something—quietly." Happy leaned in. "Did Mira... force you into this?"
